The new header <linux/regset.h> defines the types struct user_regset and struct user_regset_view, with some associated declarations. This new set of interfaces will become the standard way for arch code to expose user-mode machine-specific state. A single set of entry points into arch code can do all the low-level work in one place to fill the needs of core dumps, ptrace, and any other user-mode debugging facilities that might come along in the future. For existing arch code to adapt to the user_regset interfaces, each arch can work from the code it already has to support core files and ptrace. The formats you want for user_regset are the core file formats. The only wrinkle in adapting old ptrace implementation code as user_regset get and set functions is that these functions can be called on current as well as on another task_struct that is stopped and switched out as for ptrace. For some kinds of machine state, you may have to load it directly from CPU registers or otherwise differently for current than for another thread. (Your core dump support already handles this in elf_core_copy_regs for current and elf_core_copy_task_regs for other tasks, so just check there.) The set function should also be made to work on current in case that entails some special cases, though this was never required before for ptrace. Adding this flexibility covers the arch needs to open the door to more sophisticated new debugging facilities that don't always need to context-switch to do every little thing. The copyin/copyout helper functions (in a later patch) relieve the arch code of most of the cumbersome details of the flexible get/set interfaces. Signed-off-by:

Introduce fixup_exception() on 64-bit and use it in kprobes to eliminate an #ifdef. Only 64-bit needs search_extable() due to a stepping bug. Signed-off-by:

This patch moves i387 definitions from processor_32.h and processor_64.h to processor.h. They are different. Very different. And there's appearently nothing we can do about it, so they're enclosed inside ifdefs. Signed-off-by:

There's only one difference between the NOPs used in asm code for i386 and x86_64: i386 has a lot more variants. The code is moved to processor.h, and adjusted accordingly. Signed-off-by:

This patch moves definitions that are present in only one of the files (between processor_32.h and processor_64.h), to processor.h. They're mostly structures and function definitions. Signed-off-by:

x86_cpuinfo is one more to the family of "not fundamentally different" structs. It's unified in processor.h, with very specific fields enclosed around ifdefs. Signed-off-by:

This patch moves the TASK_ALIGN constraints to common header. The base of it is the same for x86_64 and i386. The only difference is the presence of vSMP in x86_64. As it's not a worry in i386, we can safely use the same code for both. Signed-off-by:

The thread_struct is not fundamentally different between architectures, and this patch puts it in the common header. What's really unique for each of them is enclosed in ifdefs. Signed-off-by:

Paravirt guests need to inform the underlying hypervisor whenever the sp0 tss field changes. i386 already has such a function, and we use it for x86_64 too. There's an unnecessary (for 64-bit) msr handling part in the original version, and it is placed around an ifdef. Making no more sense in processor_32.h, it is moved to the common header Signed-off-by:

Although slighly different, the tss_struct is very similar in x86_64 and i386. The really different part, which matchs the hardware vision of it, is now called x86_hw_tss, and each of the architectures provides yours. It's then used as a field in the outter tss_struct. Signed-off-by:

current_text_addr() has a different implementation in x86_64 and i386, but it is not fundamentally different. I stick to the i386 implementation, that seem to be a common base, and move it to processor.h Signed-off-by:

This patch moves the pieces of processor_32.h and processor_64 that are equal to processor.h. Only what's exactly the same is moved around, the rest not being touched. Signed-off-by:

This patch moves the definition of set_iopl_mask to processor.h, instead of letting it at processor_32.h. For x86_64, nothing is done, as we don't really need such a function. However, having it on both arches saves us from putting an ifdef in the pv_cpu_ops struct. Signed-off-by:

This patch unifies the paravirt pieces of processor.h The functionality present in 32 bit, but not (yet) in 64-bit, like load_sp0 is _not_ done here, and let to a different patch. With this unification, we get paravirt for free in x86_64 processor.h Signed-off-by:

There's no need for the *_MASK flags (TF_MASK, IF_MASK, etc), found in processor.h (both _32 and _64). They have a one-to-one mapping with the EFLAGS value. This patch removes the definitions, and use the already existent X86_EFLAGS_ version when applicable. [ roland@redhat.com: KVM build fixes. ] Signed-off-by:

Recently a kdump bug was discovered in which a system would hang inside calibrate_delay during the booting of the kdump kernel. This was caused by the fact that the jiffies counter was not being incremented during timer calibration. The root cause of this problem was found to be a bios misconfiguration of the hypertransport bus. On system affected by this hang, the bios had assigned APIC ids which used extended apic bits (more than the nominal 4 bit ids's), but failed to configure bit 17 of the hypertransport transaction config register, which indicated that the mask for the destination field of interrupt packets accross the ht bus (see section 3.3.9 of http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/26094.PDF). If a crash occurs on a cpu with an APIC id that extends beyond 4 bits, it will not recieve interrupts during the kdump kernel boot, and this hang will be the result. The fix is to add this patch, whcih add an early pci quirk check, to forcibly enable this bit in the httcfg register. This enables all cpus on a system to receive interrupts, and allows kdump kernel bootup to procede normally. Signed-off-by:

Its previous use in a call to on_each_cpu() was pointless, as at the time that code gets executed only one CPU is online. Further, the function can be __cpuinit, and for this to work without CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU setup_nmi() must also get an attribute (this one can even be __init; on 64-bits check_timer() also was lacking that attribute).
